Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups sliced strawberries (about 8 ounces)
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons to ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate coating (optional)
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Make the popsicle mixture: Place strawberries, coconut milk, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and add the additional tablespoon maple syrup if desired, depending on the sweetness of the berries (see Notes).
- Freeze the popsicles: Insert sticks and pour the mixture into popsicle molds. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours until completely solid.
- Prepare the chocolate coating: Place chocolate chips and olive oil in a dry glass measuring cup or small glass bowl (make sure it’s completely dry or the chocolate will seize). Microwave on high power for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until mostly melted with just a few chunks remaining. Keep stirring until all chocolate chunks disappear and the mixture is perfectly smooth. Pour into a small, narrow cup for easy dipping.
- Dip the popsicles (optional): Remove popsicles from molds. Working quickly, dip each popsicle into the melted chocolate until fully covered. Hold for a moment to let the chocolate begin to harden, then place on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Final freeze: Return dipped popsicles to the freezer for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating completely before serving. Store finished popsicles in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
